Trial underway for Livingston County man accused of infant son’s murder

Jury selection commenced on Monday for Zachary McCaa, 27, from Caledonia in Livingston County, facing charges of murder and manslaughter over the death of his 2-month-old son last June.


Prosecutors allege that McCaa caused the infant’s death by throwing him, leading to fatal blunt force head injuries; the baby passed away in the hospital a week later.

Previously arrested in June for reckless child assault, McCaa’s charges were escalated after the infant’s death. He was indicted on September 20 with counts of second-degree murder, first and second-degree manslaughter, and child endangerment. Investigations suggest the baby had been violently shaken multiple times by McCaa.
